America 250 Challenge Kickoff

Attention WellPower Movement members!

You are invited to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States by taking part in the America 250 Challenge!

The goal is simple: achieve and log 250 miles of physical activity by June 30, 2026. In return, you’ll earn virtual badges every 50 miles, qualify for monthly prize drawings, and—best of all—enjoy improved health and fitness.

Any activity counts! Walking, running, cycling, sports participation, strength training, and more can be logged toward your goal. A convenient activity converter is available to help track progress.

Participation is free and easy through the WellPower Movement platform. Just follow the steps in the WPM How-To Guide and you’ll be ready to begin a fun, motivating journey to better health. You can also create groups with family, friends, or co-workers for accountability and friendly competition.

Start your America 250 Challenge today and earn your first badge!
